I'd trade my taser for gloves that made me grapple better

A sec loadout that just mades you better at beating the shit out of people would be hilarious

Address 3: Adjust melee armor to be multiplicative.
- Melee armor VS ranged armor acting different is a weird thing anyway. Stun weapons would likely need to be weakened to compensate, as this shifts combat in security's favor. 
- There should still be cases where full immunity is granted, like punches. perhaps keep lower additive numbers as 'absorption' values.

Buffing sec armor and nerfing stuns would be an interesting change I think, making secoffs really fucking hard to kill rather than being stunlocked the moment they get in range would be a neat take imo. However this would also make poisons and dart based weapons better since they go through armor.

Yet another idea from me(yes i know i talk alot) what if security weapons went from tasers to fully rubber/beanbag weapons, they would do damage(maybe even have them be unable to go under a certain amount of health) but be more focused around slowing the enemy from chip damage and just slowing upon being hit to the point to where the officer can safely baton them and cuff them. This way maybe antags wouldnt be focused on taking an officers weapon because their lethal weapons can kill much faster. Im also thinking this would work well with a baton nerf
